The bug I found is different. The text is garbled not overlapping

+1 from windows 11 / windows terminal, CC 2.1.141. same agent view garbling, also showing up in the main chat pane.

specific things i'm seeing (screenshots in followup):

agent view:

• in the agent list, the session row title runs together with the latest assistant message text - looks like both get rendered into the title slot with no separator
• the "1h" age stamp concatenates into the "your session anytime" help text below it (missing space/newline)
• the active-session label at the bottom of the main chat pane bleeds into the divider area above the prompt

main chat pane (during streaming and on scroll):

• characters get inserted/swapped mid-word - e.g. file:// rendered as fe:e://, obsidian as andbobsidian, timestamp as timtamamp, right shape as rightlshape
• left-edge numerals (list markers like 3.) bounce position frame-to-frame
• resizing the WT window by 1px clears it for a moment; scrolling up/down re-corrupts it
• ctrl+L doesn't help, /clear doesn't help

looks like the same Ink virtual buffer desync that #29937 describes for tmux, but here it's WT directly, no tmux involved.

Seeing the same on a Linux machine over SSH using VSCode

I have the same issue

still persistent on 2.1.42

@bogini

still persistent on 2.1.44

Hello! This should have been fixed in 2.1.145 - could you please update and try again?

it wasn't on 2.1.145 but it may be on 2.1.146 ill follow up

was able to test it but was on 2.1.147 - and it seems to be taken care of. thanks!

Display rendering in agent view was overhauled across v2.1.142–146. Please reopen with a fresh repro if you still see garbled output on a current version.
